Jul 31 #3: July 30, 2017 | Meet Bette Girl

On May 21 of 2017, I very impulsively rescued a Treeing Walker Coonhound from the Animal Rescue League here in Des Moines. The volunteers said they had found her wandering around a busy street when they picked her up.

She's been a sweet companion, but man does she have energy to spare. She's a lot of work and tries my patience every day, but she's taught me things like to not leave any pillows within mouth's reach, peanut butter filled Kongs are the best thing in the world, and sometimes a long walk is the perfect way to get a new view on an old problem.
